Friends of ours buy seasons passes to take their kids to it all the time. It is a great spot for kids (and you might learn something yourself in the process). More

If you like science, but you are not an expert, this is the place to be. You can enjoy everything even if it was created with the kids in mind. It's very interesting. Avoid the weekends if you are an adult looking for some acknowledge but also a quiet time. More

Lots of activities for small kids from 3 - 14 years. Needs new exhibits and better maintenance. Some of the attractions were closed. More

So many activities for the kids. My guests remember Ontario Science Center years after we have taken them there. The children think of it as the best of Toronto when they are grown up. More
